The Real Issues

The ruling class have wasted countless hours and tax dollars to bolster the wealthy and constrain the working class Iowan.

As Representative, I fight for a platform that prioritizes public value over corporate profit.

Let's Be The Example of Education-- Not the Executioner

There was a point in time in which Iowa was considered a national blueprint in the realm of education. Years of greed, mismanagement, and complacency has led to consistent decline in quality of education, taking us from the leader to a laughing stock.

My priorities for Public Education:

Keep public dollars in public schools
Fund and support our AEAs, thus providing resources to ALL Iowans
Shift focus toward a model centered around promotion of critical thinking and problem solving
Entrust educators and professionals to do their duties without political interference
Provide all staff and faculty wages and benefits worthy of the work involved
Expand opportunities for post-secondary education, both for current high school students and graduates

Healthy, Happy Homes

Our district is in the midst of an affordability crisis, one that is exasperating the other prominent issues we are currently facing. The foundation of any American Dream is a Happy, Healthy Home.

As Representative, I will fight for:

Fair taxation on corporations while ensuring low tax rates for lower and middle-class Iowans and their small businesses
The end of Eminent Domain abuse
An increase in affordable housing options
The protection and expansion of the rights of Iowans with disabilities
Humane, effective, restorative treatments and increase in funding and facilities for those in crisis
Well-funded, independent research into Iowa's cancer rate, with intent to actually do something with the findings

Give the People What they Want

As a direct result of this Administration's out-of-touch management, our state has lost thousands of residents and potentially BILLIONS in tax dollars, simply by driving away the next generations of Iowans as soon as they are able to leave home. I would say half of my class has left the state upon obtaining either a diploma or degree, many of whom moved to one of our neighboring states.

In speaking directly to Iowan natives who were/are part of this 'Brain Drain', here are just some of the most painfully recurring factors, aside from the ones mentioned above, which I intend to address once elected:

Every state surrounding us has increased their minimum wage, with no discernable impact on the rate of inflation.
Iowa has less protections provided for renters, including those in manufactured home communities.
Many of our neighboring states have fewer restrictions on cannabis, a plant that is native to Iowa. Regardless of your personal stance on the substance, with it comes agriculture, jobs, taxable revenue, and less strain on our criminal justice systems.
We are lacking and dwindling in regards to public land, and mistreatment/mismanagement by leadership in regards to what public land is only further worsening things.
Hardworking, law-abiding citizens fear government infringement upon individual liberties and civil rights.
Leadership prefers to listen to the wishes of Washington over the needs of the people.

These are but a few concerns bleeding our state dry, and I'm sure you've heard most or all of them for years now. If elected, you'll finally hear them from the mouth of your elected representative.

An Era of Accountability

Years of total, partisan domination has eroded public trust in this Administration's ability to ethically govern. As Representative, I will do my part to restore faith in our state democracy, and bring some much needed accountability back to office.

We need leaders who will:

Put trust back in frontline experts for fields such as health, education, environment, and agriculture, instead of just catering to corporate interests.
Allow the state auditor's office to act independently regardless of political affiliation, thus ensuring their job can be accomplished as designed.
Hold corporations accountable for their actions as we would with any private citizen.
Model and maintain open, two-way, transparent governance at every step of the process.
Protect and improve upon critical resources and systems that have been under attack by this current Administration, such as IPERS and Medicaid.
Provide frequent communication with the public and avenues to make your voice genuinely heard.

Things will stay this way as long as we let them. I'm done letting them get away with it.

Are you with me?
